Travelling Film Festival Hits Alice Springs

Be listening all this week to 783 ABC Alice Springs for your chance to win one of ten doubles passes to this year's Travelling Film Festival.

This year the TFF takes Alice Springs audiences on a cinematic journey around the world, showcasing films from Australia, Germany, Denmark, UK, USA, China, France, Israel, India and Japan.

Opening Night will feature the winner of Cannes Film Festival Jury prize, The Angels' Share. This charming film by the great Ken Loach is well-loved by audiences and critics alike; a bittersweet comedy about redemption, kilts and whisky. It's a heart-warming tale of a group of former criminals who turn to drink and ironically change their lives. Opening Night also screens the short film Julian, a Dendy Awards Finalist at SFF 2012.

The Festival features an impressive line-up of critically-acclaimed films including:

The Master, Paul Thomas Anderson's (There will be Blood) latest film is being hailed as a 2013 Oscar favourite and stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Valley of Saints - EXCLUSIVE TFF TITLE - Set on Dal Lake in strife-torn Kashmir, this film tells an unlikely story of love between a working-class boatman and a beautiful scientist, while raising important environmental issues.

Barbara - PRE-RELEASE TITLE - Berlinale-winning dramatic thriller starring Nina Hoss as an East German doctor who is exiled to a 1980s GDR backwater and subject to constant monitoring, she focuses on her future and freedom.

Policeman, split into two colliding narratives, this taut political drama about class conflict in Israel pits the leader of an elite anti-terrorist unit against a pair of militant anarchists.

A Simple Life, winner of five Hong Kong Film Awards and five Venice Film Festival Awards starring Andy Lau (House of Flying Daggers). A heart-warming film about the relationship between the sole surviving young master of a Hong Kong dynasty and his family's long serving maid.
